Taylor, Jones criticise Kohli for friendship comments

Denouncing Virat Kohli's comments that the spiteful Test series has ended his friendship with the Australians, legendary batsman Mark Taylor says the India captain should not hold any grudges since it's just a game in the end. The comments did not go down well with Taylor, who feels Kohli should grow "bigger".

"Cricketers play together a lot these days, both with and against each other, so you've got to be very careful about holding grudges and making stances like that," Taylor wrote in his blog for Wide World of Sports. Former Australia batsman Dean Jones and ex-England player David Lloyd also questioned the wisdom of Kohli's comments. "Virat will learn that this great game is not just about winning and losing. It's also about the friends you make while playing the game," Jones wrote on his twitter handle.
